2. No one's attacking NK. It's the most cynical of charades. I don't even bother reading about this stupid story because there is only one course of action with NK: Sanction it to cripple the ruling party as much as possible, and when Kim saber rattles (as he'll predictably do every now and again when the sanctions imperil his rule), relax sanctions just enough to shut him up. Rinse, repeat until 30 or so cycles are completed and he ruling party is weakened enough that it collapses.

It's the only thing you can do with these regimes. It's what we're doing with Iran. And what we should have continued doing with Iraq.
